The Welsh National Slate Museum

Very Interesting - and Free !!

We saw a demonstration of slate splitting, and were told that the workers had to split and dress 128 slates to be paid for 100 because of the breakages that occured during subsequent delivery !

Shocking...

Then the question was " If a worker splits 400 slates, how many is he paid for ?"

"291" I shouted at once !

The prize for a right answer was a slate heart


So, I had to buy mine !!!
